10. MY APPLE TREE

Dear Apple Tree,

You are my Tree

I came from thee

I’m part of thee

For it was from thy side that I have come

And thy tree was once my home 

Of course I care for you

I hope you care about me too

For you were my shelter

Under the cruel weather

Though I’m now afar

You’re still my star

To light up my way

From dark night till day

So do take care

I’m here to share

Your joy and sorrow

And an uncertain tomorrow

You are my Tree

My dear Apple Tree

9. HE IS BEAUTIFUL TO ME.......IN MY EYES, IN MY THOUGHTS

In my eyes he has the most beautiful heart I have found

He understands me like a mother

He reads me like a map

He indulges me like a child

He adores me like a painter

He appeases me like the breeze on a sunny day

For this he shall linger a long while in my thoughts

In my eyes he is the most tender soul I've known

He calms my troubled mind

He soothes my aching heart

He eases my weary body

He saves my wandering soul

He touches me in every possible way I could ever imagine

For this he shall earn a special place in my thoughts

He is so beautiful to me

In my eyes he is my world

In my thoughts he owns me....

8. COFFEE FOR TWO

You cannot imagine how great it feels

to breathe in the same air as you do

to walk on the same street you walk

and to drink a cup of coffee for two

Here am I seeing you every where

hearing your voice all around me

smelling your cologne as if you're there

sitting on a chair drinking my coffee

Wish I've the guts to give you a call

and tell you that I am here all alone

longing to meet you even if just this once

before our paths part ways and all is gone

You know that special place in my heart?

It's still empty since you've been gone

I don't wanna let anyone find it to stay

I'd rather keep it that way and be all alone

Here comes the waiter with coffee for two

One black no sugar, the other sweet and white

One cup made for me, another one for you

Each diluted with my tears on this lonely night

I come this time to bid you goodbye

To wish you luck and all the best

To finish the story and end this cry

To close the final chapter and let it rest

A cup of coffee fresh from my heart

A closure to the love that once flourished

A parting gift now we're indeed apart

An end to a story that's untimely finished

7. THANKFUL

Like a the soft and gentle breeze

Like a whisper into my ears

Like a warm tender breath upon my face

You have come into my life.....

Careful as a child's first step

Gentle as the autumn wind

Quiet as the moonless night

You have mended my broken heart..... 

Endless as the spacious sky

Tireless as the crushing waves

Fearless as the warrior king

You have been so patient with me....

Joyful I am for your existence

Thankful I am for your persistence

Grateful I am for your resistance

To my continuous denial of all that is you…

How will I ever pay you back

For your kindness and generosity

For the joy and laughter you brought to me

For now my heart has begun to heal and feel again......

6. OUR SEPARATE WORLD

When it is morning at your place

I would be sleeping in my night

When it's dusk while you rest

Mine is dawn of breaking light

Our love has so much to conquer

The laws of nature the clockwork of the sun

While I am in my deepest slumber

You are awake full of life and fun

I'd be strolling on the beach

Wrapped by the early morning dew

You'd be just retiring to bed

Thinking of me and my love for you

How can we find the time to talk

To hear whispers of love so true

To catch the sun rays and take a walk

That brief moment to reach out to you

I wish we're birds with wings to fly

Across the oceans and over the sea

Over the hills, mountains and sky

To be united - just you and me

While it's so sad but it is true

This love of ours across the miles

When it is time that I meet you

Our world of love is worth the while

5. CHOOSE WISELY

What is a body

Without a heart that keeps beating?

What is a heart

Without any love for loving?

What is love

Without an act of sacrificing

What is a sacrifice?

Without having to choose

So,

Choose wisely

What you will sacrifice

To win the love

Of a heart

That's beating

In a body that should be

And must have been

Born to Earth

Solely for you.........

4. YOU WERE

Barely a month ago ….

You were a stranger knocking at my heart's door

Two weeks ago ….

You were the beatings of my heart

One week ago ….

You were the reason for my tears

Three days ago ….

You were a twilight of my dream

Yesterday ….

You were a just a faint light of a dying star

Today ….

You are just another face of a passing stranger

Tomorrow ….

You are will be in the oblivion of my mind

Next year ….

We may cross path again

Only this time we will be total strangers......

3. DON’T WASTE MY LOVE

If I could reach up for the Sun

I would pluck it to warm you up forever 

If I could touch the Moon

I would coax it to give light in your darkest moments 

If I could hold the Earth and cup it in my hands

I would present it to you on a silver platter 

If I could catch the shooting star and tame it by its tail

I would pin it to your coat to show I love you 

So, you see, there's nothing I won't do for you because 

I love you with all my heart, mind, body and soul 

So, please do not waste my love that I have showered upon you

for I can only bestow it upon you just this ONCE!

2. BROKEN STRINGS BROKEN WINGS

If you stop loving me now

I'll be like the violin with a broken string

No more music no more songs to sing

Like a heart that's slowly dying

xxx

If you are to desert me now

I'll be grounded like a bird with a broken wing

Unable to fly and touch the sky

Unable to sleep to the lullaby

xxx

If you are to sail away beyond the horizon

I'll be like the boat without its sail

Unable to chart the stormy seas

Unable to berth by the pier of bliss

xxx

If you are to leave me now

I'll be like a puppet without its master

Unable to move my lifeless limb

Unable to cry my tears of grim

xxx

If you are to shut me out of your life

I'll be like the Earth without the Sun

Groping in darkness till life is done

Dying slowly one by one..... and I'll be gone

xxx

Let the violin play its song while the bird fly to the sky

Let the boat sail the sea while the puppet have its ways

Let the sun stay by the Earth to keep it warm, bright and dry

Stay by me and let me love you for the remainder of my days

xxx

1. LILAC DREAM

Love was when you stretched out your hand 

And softly touched my cheeks to wipe my tears 

It was when I was the prima donna in your life 

When you were the Prince of my lonely heart 

Love was when you kissed my eyes to sleep 

And which brought forth vivid dreams in a 

Lilac colored world with musicals played upon 

Harps of angels where there were just you and me 

Love was when you carried me in your arms 

And tenderly laid me on soft cashmere sheets 

When I was too tired and spent from your loving 

For then we were one mind one soul in two bodies 

Then like a dream that vanished at the break of day 

You were gone while I was still in my slumber 

Basking in the sunshine of your love, my mind still 

Numb from the loving you gave me, and....you’re gone
